The CBN Foundation has been established to build an ecosystem of geodata providers offering affordable geoservices to individuals, businesses, industry, and the public sector. The project team initiating the establishment of this Foundation has already built a prototype and a marketplace. Using data from multiple sources, we have piloted tokens in a project with the European Space Agency (ESA) enabling transactions between the ESA and international R&D communities. Using tokens authorized by ESA, academic and industrial researchers from around the world can procure satellite data-as-a-service or software-as-a-service from data providers and satellite operators. Inspired by the success of that project, we seek to build a broader decentralized network and tokenize the entire geoservices industry.
